Bishop Bibi of the Buea Diocese who emerged man of the match said his desire is “to take this to other dioceses across Cameroon.”

Prior to the match Priest from Kumba braced up in a training session in a bid to emerge victorious but unfortunately.

“It’s very rare to have Priests play together out of the seminary because people are in different parishes,” said Rev Fr Raphael Kolle during a training session ahead of the match.

The match was watched by the Bishop of Kumba, Agapitus Fon and the Bishop of Buea, Michael Bibi.
